The skiffs transfer the warm bodies of the recently slaughtered innocent family — at Taiji Japan The Cove

16 December, 2015 – Risso’s Dolphins Slaughter – at Taiji, Japan

 

After 16 consecutive Blue cove days, the hunters of Taiji mercilessly slaughtered another family of Risso's.

At 8:35am-local Taiji time, Cove Guardians spotted the hunting vessels coming together, corralling this family and driving them toward the killing cove.

The family fought valiantly for over 5 hours, coming very close to escaping many times, however in the end, they were outmatched by the ruthless hunters and their machines of death.

The family of 8, including one juvenile were finally herded into the cove and brutally murdered.

While no dolphins were selected for captivity, the reality remains that the captive industry is what duels this senseless and barbaric act.

 

It is imperative that we all take a stand against the captive industry, boycotting any company that promotes the SWD programs and encouraging everyone we know, not to participate in these programs.

 

Captivity Kills!!
